The first aim of the current project is to conduct a multi-site randomized controlled trial to test the Patient Activation and Self-Management (PASM) intervention, also called RQP-MH II, in predominantly Latino mental health clinics. The investigators will assess the intervention's impact on engagement and retention in mental health care. The second aim is to explore the racial/ethnic differences in the effect of the RQP-MH II intervention for Latinos as compared to non-Latino whites, as little is known about the impact of patient race/ethnicity on the effectiveness of patient activation interventions. The fourth aim is to explore the role of patient-provider communication and therapeutic alliance as mediators of the relationship between patient activation and engagement and retention in care. It is expected that increased patient-provider communication and a stronger therapeutic alliance will result from increased participation in the decision-making process. These potential changes in the process of care are expected to consequently increase patient engagement (keeping scheduled appointments) and retention (reduction of premature unilateral termination) in mental health care.
